Master's Program

A stepping stone to greater study

As a graduate student within the Department of Pathology’s two-year MSc program, you’ll study the essential nature of disease while also learning to take a wide variety of approaches to discover the mechanisms responsible for disease.

By the time you’re finished, you’ll be well-prepared to pursue a PhD. Or, if you’re ready to join the workforce when you’re done, you could consider an academic career or seek a position as an industry research assistant. You’ll also:

have a general understanding of most areas of human pathology at the upper graduate level

have a deeper understanding of specific areas of study at the graduate level and in thesis research

be able to perform research in a specialized area of human pathology

know how to design and conduct experiments

be equipped to critically evaluate experimental results and interpret them accurately

be able to present seminars or lectures to other students and to scientific audiences
